I get the sense from how they're written they wouldn't necessarily take in family from another tribe so tending to the elderly or left children would actually be more of a thing.
That said there's a lot of interesting ideas here.
Duno. They like they'd need to be polyamorous too still with the few males they have.Who knows~
It seems like a big cultural thing to happen to not mention... especially when they go through great lengths to describe the breeding culture for the Sun Seekers.
The options are either:
1. Â They happened to forget to describe the Moon Keepers are polyamorous even after going through describing the breeding rights of the Sun Seekers in full detail along with names for their breeding specifications, situations, and cultural norms... they just forgot...
2. Â The Keepers aren't polyamorous.
It could be the case but it doesn't seem to make logical sense that they just "forgot" to mention a key bit of lore for one group after going over it in detail for another. Â Given the matriarchal ideal and the fact that female Miqo'te were known for going off into the world at much higher rates it seems much more likely that, rather than forgetting to write lore, less female Miqo'te of the Moon Keepers settle down to form families. Â After all, they aren't necessarily needed for breeding stock and families are small anyhow. Â Further a little under half of the NPCs from 1.0 appeared to be Sun Seekers (the ones with names. Â Since some of the Moon Keepers had Sun Seekers names I might have miscounted mobs). Â Given traditions and who-leaves-where it seems to work itself out there.
Another alternative: The breeding traditions of Keepers weren't nearly as relevant to their naming styles. That was a naming conventions thread, after all. I'm sure we'll find out more in game.
And only one Keeper in 1.0 had a Seeker of the Sun name. Damn confusing dancer girl from Ul'dah.
